SPECIAL NOTES 1. This is a voluntary service, all traveling expenses are self?financed. 2. You will be going to disaster?hit areas in Ladakh. In some instances, you may be required to help the victims and survivors. Therefore, you have to be mentally prepared to witness deaths, injuries, mudslides and other results of the calamity. If you are physically or emotionally unable to carry on during the operation, please do not hesitate to take leave. 3. You are required to arrange for your own travel and health Insurance and ensure that you are covered for emergency helicopter evacuation, in case of unforeseen health issues. Travel Insurance will also ensure that you will be covered in the event of a cancelled or shortened trip due to unforeseen circumstances. 4. All meals are vegetarian. We discourage volunteers from bringing disposable items, as this will pollute the Himalayas, where the source of water is very precious and rare. 5. Please bring your own mug and container. 6. We ask that everyone be as understanding and tolerant as possible, as we have no idea what will happen during the journey and what kind of experience you will go through internally.
